CHICAGO (STMW) – A lawsuit filed Friday in Cook County Circuit Court claims a woman grieving over the impending loss of her mother was lured into a sexual relationship with a Catholic priest who was counseling her.

The suit claims the woman met Fr. Fernando Zuleta in November 2008 when her mother was admitted to a hospice where he served as chaplain and grief counselor. She began daily counseling sessions to deal with the impending death of her mother from a terminal illness.

The priest encouraged the woman to meet him for a counseling session at a local restaurant for coffee, according to the suit. He began ordering alcohol for the woman until she became intoxicated.

The suit claims that even though the priest knew the woman was married he began kissing her and touching her body in a sexual manner. In subsequent meetings, he allegedly escalated his advances by engaging in intimate conversation, kissing and sexual touching.

The woman’s mother died one week after being admitted to the hospice and the woman and priest began having a sexual relationship on a regular basis, according to the suit. Until February 2009, the sexual relationship continued, often in the rectory of the priest’s parish, according to the suit.

In December 2008, the woman told her husband about the relationship, according to the suit. Her husband immediately informed the hospice, Zuleta’s immediate supervisor, officials at the Archdiocese of Chicago and the pastor of the parish.

The hospice terminated the priest, but the Archdiocese took no action, according to the suit, which names Zuleta, the Bishop of Chicago and the Archdiocese as defendants.

The suit claims the woman’s life began to spiral out of control during and following her sexual relationship with the priest. It also alleges she suffered extreme emotional distress, including loss of trust, a great sense of betrayal and of being exploited.

About This Blog

For over forty years, delusional and lying Christians have accused Satanists of committing all manner of atrocities toward children without any evidence. This is ironic considering the pervasive occurrence of prolonged systematic child abuse among the various Christian churches and denominations, and among others abusing positions of trust in the Jewish and Islamic Synagogues and Mosques.

Enough hypocrisy. We all know who the sick, deranged child abusers really are: the sanctimonious frauds of the Judeo-Christian-Islamic traditions.

In fact, you could go so far as to say that child abuse IS a Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition!

STOP THE MADNESS.

The 9th Satanic Rule of the Earth

"Do not harm little children."--Anton Szandor LaVeyFounder of The Church of Satan

From THE SATANIC BIBLE

"Under NO circumstances would a Satanist sacrifice any animal or baby! For centuries, propagandists of the right-hand path have been prattling over the supposed sacrifices of small children and voluptuous maidens at the hands of diabolists. It would be thought that anyone reading or hearing of these heinous accounts would immediately question their authenticity, taking into consideration the biased sources of the stories. On the contrary, as with all "holy" lies which are accepted without reservation, this assumed modus operandi of the Satanists persists to this day!

There are sound and logical reasons why the Satanists could not perform such sacrifices. Man, the animal, is the godhead to the Satanist. The purest form of carnal existence reposes in the bodies of animals and human children who have not grown old enough to deny themselves their natural desires. They can perceive things that the average adult human can never hope to.

Therefore, the Satanist holds these beings in a sacred regard, knowing he can learn much from these natural magicians of the world."
